Default Finally got a new convertible top
Not a mod but I thought I would post up some pics of my vert. Did all the work myself. Let me know what you think...

Will be getting corsa tips soon

Looks great - congrats. I'm sure it was a bitch of a job.

Top looks great. I did the same thing (swapping whole top assembly from wrecked car)
but the top wouldn't close so I ended up paying to have the new top put on old frame.

...I need to get a new top for mine. Where did you get yours and actually how hard was it?

Wow, that is really nice work - congrats. What was the hardest part of the job? Where'd you get the top?

I had a roller donor. The car had just had the top replaced so it was brand new. It was a little difficult, I switched the whole top assembly.

I thought you installed new material on the old frame. Switching the entire assembly out of a donor is much easier.
